Research Focus: Molecular Ecology of Plant & Soil Systems
Jude Maul is a research ecologist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. His work focuses on molecular ecology at the plant-soil-water interface, with an emphasis on plant health, nutrient acquisition, and productivity. By leveraging advanced molecular and metagenomic techniques, Maul studies the interactions between beneficial and harmful soil and plant-associated organisms. This research helps farmers protect crops from disease and reduce crop loss.
